It's a..........

So Jarom and I went to the Doctors today for an ultrasound. It's the big one where they check to make sure everything is going well, and also to tell you the sex of your baby. And the Doctor concluded that we are having a little boy. We are very excited that a little Jerry is on his way.

Castle at Versailles

Just thought everyone would enjoy seeing a castle found in Versailles.... Kentucky not France.

Winter Wonderland

Last week we had a fun adventure here in Kentucky. On Tuesday work and school had a two hour delay and an hour early release. The reason for this was the weather. It started snowing then it turned into rain, but when the rain landed on anything it turned immediatedly into ice. I have never been in an ice storm before but I thought it was pretty cool. When the sun finally came out a couple days after the storm it was very pretty. Everything looked like it was made out of glass. Despite how pretty everything was, the storm was rather destructive. The ice took out a great number of trees as well as many power lines. We were fortunate enough to have power the whole time, but I know that many went without power, and may not have it until march, so for those who suffered I am sorry.

It's A Baby!!!!

Well I guess I should officially let everyone know that I am pregnant. I am 3 months along and everything looks to be going okay. Jarom and I are very excited. According to Jarom if it's a boy he will be named Plaxico, and if it's a girl she will be named Jerusha.

Jarom is doing good in school but is getting stressed out with the amount of sudying that he is having to put in. Right now his big class is Anatomy and he is spending a lot of time looking at cadavers. Once he finishes the semester he gets to go to a memorial for the cadaver he is studying. He is super excited because he gets to meet the family and talk with them about his experience. Is it just me or does that sound just a bit AWKWARD?

I am enjoying my job and have gotten used to the daily grind, but am definitely looking forward to being a stay at home mom. This is something I have told Jarom from the beginning of our marriage. The above picture was taken on Thanksgiving, and the below pictures are of our vacation to visit family in California and Utah over the holidays.

Sealant Trip

Back in October I went on a "field trip " with my classmates to southern Kentucky to work on some poor kids. Her are some of the pictures that I took. The overlook pictures are from Cumberland Gap, which is a point where you are basically in Tenessee, Virginia, and Kentucky all at the same time.

Our trip to the Races

You can't live in Kentucky and not go to the horse races, so when Kristen's mom was in town we went to one.
We felt kind of underdressed because everyone else was wearing dresses and suits while we were in jeans and t-shirts. The race track looks like dirt, but it is actually made of some fibrous material mixed with wax so when it is wet it still has the same consistency. It smelled just like crayons.
Before the races start, they bring all the horses out for everyone to see. I have never seen such muscular horses in my life. You could tell that they were well taken care of. After they are brought out, the jockey's come out and mount them. This was the winner of the first race. They sell programs that give you the stats for each horse telling how much they win, what the odds are that they will win again and this is how people decide which horses to bet on.
It really was amazing to watch them race.

White coat ceremony

So I just had a ceremony to get my white coat and its kind of a big deal. Kristen was in Utah so I had some friends take a picture of me and I photoshopped her into it. Pretty classy isn't it? I felt dumb at the ceremony because I didn't know it was such a big deal so I didn't wear a tie. I, along with Bryce Jones were the only ones not wearing ties (I told him not to wear one). All the faculty think that my name is pronounced Ja-rome, so I was afraid that they would call me that when they read my name. To my suprise, the lady didn't, she called me JAR-UM. I'm sure the people in the audience were thinking to themselves what kind of freaky name is that? Maybe someday they will get it right.
